In light of the worldwide situation with COVID-19, we are feeling sad but wise in our CanTRA Board of Director's decision to CANCEL our 2020 CanTRA Conference, ...Celebrating 40 Years of Leadership, and the Pre-Conference Mentoring Clinic, which was set to take place at Olds College in Olds, Alberta, on May 29-31st. Of utmost importance in this decision has been the health and well-being of our delegates, members, volunteers, staff and their families. Health safety in gathering for this event could not be assured, and therefore cancellation was inevitable. We look ahead hopefully to a CanTRA Conference in 2021.
